My silence was my salvation; the silence of years of trying to say something without much understanding; the silence of desperate action. This would be the first silence that would carry meaning.

— Njabulo Ndebele

War and conquests in the twenty-first century suddenly look distressingly primitive… We need a new value system for resolving world conflicts.

And that’s our problem. We laugh at everything, just stopping short of seriousness.

You see, you should learn to say what you mean. Words, little man, are a gift from the Almighty, the Eternal Wisdom. He gave us all a little pinch of his mind and called on us to think. That is why it is folly to misuse words or not to know how to use them well.”
